Reborn Lord

Lu Mo Ning went to court early the next morning and left the palace directly, without giving Zhao Tianji a chance to keep him.When Lu Mo Ning returned to the Ministry of Criminal Justice, he saw Hong Guangping rushing over with a happy face: "My lord, I was finally caught by my subordinates!"

"Huh? What's going on?" Lu Mo Ning was taken aback, and then a light flashed in his eyes, "Did you catch one of them?"

Hong Guangping heard from those two thugs earlier that those thugs who caught the boy and left the capital with 1 taels were finally found by him. After taking away a child and getting 1 taels from the person behind the scenes, he left the capital.

But this person likes to gamble. Although he left the capital after taking the 1 taels, he lost all of the 1 taels in just over a month.

After he ran out of money, the man changed his mind and planned to come back and do another vote, cheating 1 taels before leaving.

So, he went back to the capital, and changed his appearance cleverly, but even if he changed his appearance again, he would be spotted by Hong Guangping who was hiding in the dark as soon as he entered the imperial city. It was caught in a dark alley where the other party went.

"My lord, I'm locked in the study now, and my subordinates didn't dare to leak it out." After all, he's been used to being cautious with Lu Moning these years. They knew if there was anything tricky in it, so they investigated this matter openly, but this search was carried out secretly.

Lu Mo Ning followed Hong Guangping to the study room, and sure enough, he saw a bearded man tied up on a stool with a rag in his mouth. Seeing Lu Mo Ning, his expression changed.

Hong Guangping closed the door, and Lu Mo Ning stepped forward. When he got close, he moved a stool and sat opposite the bastard: "I'm asking you, you can just nod or shake your head."

The bastard was vigilant and didn't speak.

Lu Mo Ning didn't care about him: "I'll ask you, what did you do to those boys who disappeared inside and outside the imperial city in the past two months?"

The man didn't speak at all, but when Lu Mo Ning mentioned those boys, he avoided his eyes, obviously guilty.

Lu Mo Ning was not in a hurry: "It's useless if you don't say it. We already know that you abducted the little grandson of the Qian family. Now you guess that the official handed you over. Is your crime of abducting and trafficking children enough to kill you?" life?"

The bastard's face changed slightly, thinking of something, with a slight fear in his expression, he shook his head desperately, but still didn't nod.

Lu Moning guessed that since the people behind the scenes were willing to exchange 1 taels for a child, they were probably warned about something before they left.

Lu Mo Ning knew that this bastard would not say anything if he was not serious.

Lu Mo Ning didn't bother to talk nonsense with him, so he stood up and called Hong Guangping to prepare some things.

Hong Guangping was stunned for a moment: "My lord, is this... alright?"

Lu Mo Ning said: "Just go and prepare."

When the things came, the bastard didn't take it seriously at first, but after Hong Guangping tied him up tightly, gagged his mouth with a rag, took off his worn shoes, and scratched with a feather on the soles of his feet for less than half an hour, The man was crying and laughing, crying with tears and snot in his nose, which was extremely disgusting, but in the end he confessed and said a name: Jinfeng Pavilion.

Said that they only knew to take the children to the Jinfeng Pavilion for 1 taels, but they didn't know anything else. The other party had warned them that if they dared to speak out, even the ends of the earth would be ashamed.

When Lu Mo Ning heard the words Jinfeng Pavilion, there was a trace of doubt in his eyes and he looked at Hong Guangping whose eyes were bright: "Where is Jinfeng Pavilion?"

Hong Guangping groaned, rubbed his hands, and suddenly laughed: "My lord, aren't you from the capital? Why don't you know about the Golden Phoenix Pavilion?"

Lu Mo Ning raised his eyebrows: "Is this Jinfeng Pavilion famous?"

Hong Guangping walked over, hammered Lu Mo Ning on the shoulder, and put his arms around his neck with a friendly expression: "My lord, you really don't know where this is?"

But when he saw the doubts in Lu Mo Ning's eyes, he couldn't help but giggled, his expression was inexplicably different, and Lu Mo Ning squinted his eyes, and then he didn't know what to think, and the corner of his mouth twitched: " brothel?"

Hong Guangping laughed haha: "Sir, don't you... have never been to a brothel, have you?"

Immediately, he thought that the other party became the number one scholar at the age of 16, and then went directly to Jiangqi Town. They were punished by adults.

Lu Mo Ning thought that he had actually been there once, but it was not a brothel but a Xiaowanlou, Yuebailou.

At that time, he went with Zhao Tianji, and Lu Moning glanced at Hong Guangping's expression of rubbing his hands and Yueyuegu's hesitation: "Hong Yatou, have you forgotten your responsibilities?"

Hong Guangping saw the seriousness in Lu Moning's eyes, and quickly stood up: "This subordinate is wrong!"

Lu Mo Ning hummed: "It's a good attitude to admit your mistakes, then, let's go to Jinfeng Pavilion at night."

Since the bastard said that the Jinfeng Pavilion was the place where they handed over at that time, he wanted to see where a brothel that dared to open in the capital had the courage to make such a living.

Hong Guangping almost jumped up: "Yes, yes, my subordinates will prepare now!"

Lu Mo Ning glanced at him quietly: "We are going to handle the case, if you let me know what you have in mind, then I will take you with someone else."

"Don't tell me, my lord, this subordinate is really going to handle the case, hehe, by the way, I can see and see." Hong Guangping scratched his head, "This subordinate has never been there before, really... this subordinate just came to the capital to listen to those government officials. That said, I’m quite curious, and I really want to see and see! Sir, please take your subordinates down, and you promise not to mess around. Besides, sir, you are a delicate skinned person, so don’t be taken advantage of by the time, as your subordinates are rough. Thick ones, let them all bully their subordinates!"

Lu Moning: "..." Are you sure you didn't take advantage of it and go back?

However, Lu Moning took Hong Guangping with him in the end, but in order not to be seen by others, he and Hong Guangping made a little disguise.

On the other side, at the imperial study room, Zhao Tianji waited until he finished correcting the memorial, and then summoned Wang Degui to come in: "What time is it?"

Wang Degui respectfully said: "Reporting to the Emperor, it's already the third quarter of the unitary hour."

Only then did Zhao Tianji realize that it was already dark, and the glazed lamps were also lit in the imperial study.

He hummed, stood up, and thought that the Criminal Department would be fine by now, so he simply waved his hand: "Get ready to go to the Lu Mansion."

Wang Degui quickly agreed, and half an hour later, Zhao Tianji left the palace in plain clothes and accompanied by a few hidden guards, the destination was the Ministry of Punishment.

He was worried that Lu Mo Ning would still stay in the Ministry of Criminal Justice, so he turned a corner and went to the Ministry of Criminal Justice first, but Zhao Tianji was completely empty in the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

The yamen servant told Zhao Tianji that Lu Mo Ning returned home an hour ago.

Sitting on the carriage going to Lu's residence, Zhao Tianji was very surprised: When did Aning return to the residence on time?Could it be that today's sun rises from the west?

But Zhao Tianji was quite excited when he thought that he would see Lu Mo Ning later.

Especially when he thought of the soft hand of the other party when he teased him back last night, it was obviously a man, but it made him feel that even a touch would soften his heart.

In the end, Zhao Tianji thought very well, but when he arrived at the Lu Mansion, he was in vain. He looked at Sang Pei who was hugging A Mu with a paralyzed face, "Not here? People from the Criminal Department said he was back a long time ago."

Little Amu saw Zhao Tianji stretch out his little hand, and Zhao Tianji hugged the little thing, teasing it while asking.

Sang Pei said succinctly: "I went back and went out again."

Zhao Tianji was suspicious, but then he thought, maybe the Ministry of Punishment had something to do, and it just happened to go astray, and the left and right are his mansion, and he is about to come back.

So, Zhao Tianji patiently began to tease little Amu, who was amused by the teasing, and when Sang Pei went down to prepare dinner, Zhao Tianji heard little Amu's childish voice asking: "Mom Dear, where is the Golden Phoenix Pavilion? Is it fun?"

Zhao Tianji didn't pay much attention to it at first, but when he thought of something, his tall body froze, his phoenix eyes widened, and he looked more and more like little Amu.

When Wang Degui looked over inadvertently, he was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, thinking that he might be overthinking, Mr. Lu was already good-looking, maybe little Amu's mother also had phoenix eyes, so it just happened to resemble him a bit.

The emperor didn't care, and those slaves naturally didn't have any objections.

Zhao Tianji swallowed his saliva silently, sat on the stone bench, let little Amu sit on his lap, and asked earnestly face to face: "Amu, who told you about the Golden Phoenix Pavilion, and who is going there?"

Little Amu didn't think much about it, and said whatever he asked: "It was Hong Susu who said it, and he and Sangsu Su Deser... I heard it clearly. Hong Susu said that Jinfeng Pavilion is fun, he I'm going tonight with my father...Mother, is the Golden Phoenix Pavilion fun? Can Amu go?"

Zhao Tianji was in a daze: Ah Ning unexpectedly!go!brothel!up!

When Sang Pei came back with dinner, he saw Zhao Tianji staring at him faintly with phoenix eyes, which made Sang Pei's hair all over. Then he looked at little Amu, thought of something, and explained: "The emperor has something to do." To ask?"

Fortunately, Zhao Tianji's IQ is still online. After thinking about it, he thinks it's impossible for Aning to go to a brothel for no reason and bring his subordinates with him?This is even more impossible, so I forced myself to be patient, and finally waited until Sang Pei arrived, and said in a hoarse voice: "What are A Ning and Hong Guangping going to Jinfeng Pavilion for?"

Sang Pei thought: sure enough.

After setting up dinner, he respectfully said: "Reporting to the Emperor, Your Excellency and Hong Yatou are investigating a case recently, and the contact point for the news is in Jinfeng Pavilion, so Your Excellency and Hong Yatou went to inquire about the news."

Only then did Zhao Tianji heave a sigh of relief, as expected he was going to deal with business, so that's good, that's good!

It's just that in the next moment, I couldn't help tensing my nerves again, but what if... Ah Ning lost control!

But he didn't dare to really look for someone. If he disturbed Aning's business, his daughter-in-law would run farther.

It's better to quickly coax the daughter-in-law into your hands, otherwise, the capital will be dazzled, what if you are abducted by some goblin in the future?

So, on the one hand, Zhao Tianji sent two or three hidden guards to meet Lu Mo Ning outside the Jinfeng Pavilion, and don't disturb unless absolutely necessary; Little Red Riding Hood's big bad wolf: "Amu, my mother did something wrong before, does little Amu want my mother and father to reconcile as before?"

Little Amu immediately nodded, and Zhao Tianji leaned over and decided to start with the little hands first.

Wang Degui, who witnessed the whole scene, looked at the sky silently: he heard nothing.
